Hello light infested parasites.....HELLO!! :|

BubbaB · Jan 22, 2012

First off that light infested parasite comment is mostly that way cause everything I write is dark and twisted even if its a romance. I am 20 years old and I already published one book my goal is at least 30 before im 30. I am struggling right now with no inspiration, I can type out a whole 200+ page book in about a hour and 30minutes but I have no inspiration to do that. I hope to write more books cause I have 89 books plotted out from start to finish but no inspiration to write them.
I changed the sound of my keyboard to a typewriter cause it sounds old school typing a book and you hear a type writer.

Well I hope I can help you and you can help me.....

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Everyone says Im a fast typer but compared to most I would say im slower but its up to what people say.

I can type out a whole 200+ page book in about a hour and 30minutes

The reason folks might raise skeptical eyebrows at this -- I know I did -- is that, assuming the average page is approx. 250 words, you're claiming to type at least 50,000 words in 90 minutes, which breaks down to 555 words per minute, or 9.25 words per second. So either you're superhuman, with a fantastically responsive keyboard (that must sound like a demented woodpecker if you have a typewriter sound switched on) ...or your calculation is deeply flawed.

Welcome and... JESUS, a 200+ page book in an hour and 30 minutes? That's just... WOW...

BubbaB · Jan 23, 2012

yeah well i may never write again idk now....

dpaterso · Jan 23, 2012

I'd recommend reading more books in your favorite genres and soaking up the styles and plotting skills of leading authors until -- hopefully -- you feel the urge to create your own stories.

If that doesn't work for you, well, at least you'll have read some good books.

You might also consider looking at the flash fiction forums and engaging in the regular challenges there. Writing shorter works could spark your interest, upgrade your skills toolbox, and give you more confidence with longer projects.
